NON-LETHAL CONTROL

The Smith CoEx Lab believe that lethal control of predators should be avoided where possible. However, it is inevitable that predators and humans (including landholders and the public) will come into contact, so we are seeking to develop and test innovative methods of managing wild carnivores- particularly the Australian dingo.

We are looking at several different methods, including aversive conditioning, fladry and other disruptive stimuli.
